Sythcake Well, you don't need to understand the underlying psychological concepts to know that it works. To be honest these kind of 'tactics' to brainwash someone were widely in use loooong before psychology became something similar to a science.
Think about it a bit differently... Even though it is a bit twisted, rape is one of the most extreme compliments for your attractivity. In a society where a false accusation of rape may lead to death/extreme social sanctions/jail, someone thinks your body - what you are without all the philosophical stuff about soul/personality, in the most primal way - is worth the risk of getting punished/lynched. Someone finds you attractive enough that he can't controll his/her instincts.
We are living in a society where people post their chests and butts in social media for a shallow compliment, a like and a share.
And don't forget that female instinctive know that pregnancy means they will be VERY weak AND dependent for month/potentially years. So there are some good reasons to submessive instincts in a group where you aren't protected by the highest power.
Did you know that a big part of the psychological damage rape victims receive is due to starting to like it? To avoid pain, the body gets wet and aroused, maybe even leading to climax. -> Again cognitive dissonance, where you absolutely know that you hate(d) it, but your body "betrays" you.
It is sad, but it isn't that rare for rape victims really fall in love with their rapists. Especially if they treat you like a princess normally and avoid even hurting your toenails.
